How do others in your life see you?
This came up in class discussion today over the book Bridge to Terabithia, where nobody really gets to know a certain character except her best friend, who gets to see her true personality shine when they're together. It got me to thinking, what do others see in us?
So I asked my students in the children's lit class to think of how the world sees them, and whether they see themselves in the same way.
Here is the first thing the people in my life think of when they thing of me, in one word:
The students in my children's lit class: passionate/geeky/stylish
Sissy: sad
Dr. KGB: liminal
Grace: gentle
What one word describes how others see you IRL? Is it different for different people, or do you present the same to everyone? What do you think accounts for the difference?
